The Open Sea

So Happy Father's Day to all the Great Dads out there. I hope you enjoyed your special Day with family!

I love to play along to the Just Add Ink Challenge each week, but I thought it wasn't going to happen this week as I have never made a masculine card.. EVER! I began to think long and hard about what I could do, only to find I didn't own the stamp set I wanted to use. "That's always seems to happen with me" LOL. The only stamp set that I had that was masculine is a Stamp set called "The Open Sea" from Stampin' Up! I'm not sure what the technique I did is called but I embossed the background in White and then embossed the ships in black as the feature of the card. I cheated and used my computer to create the sentiment and embellished the card using some DSP from the Neutrals Designer Paper Stack, Seam Binding Ribbon, Linen Thread and a black button. Because the card ended up being an unusual size I used the Envelope Punch Board to create an envelope to fit the card.
Hope you like it!

Narelle, this is UNREAL!! Firstly, I can't believe you've never made a masculine card before (totally nailed it!), and secondly I just love everything about this. Thanks for playing along with us at Just Add Ink this week. :)
